I am a Fun Lovin' and Homemakin' Christian Wife and Mama. I would like to connect with others via the World Wide Web for fun, laughs and support. I believe God intends for us to find contentment and joy in the midst of life's circumstances as we struggle through. Life is not always easy, but God is Good. So grab yourself a cup of coffee (or tea) and let's get to know one another as we journey onward!

What Exactly is Spasmodic Dysphonia?
Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD) of the adductor type occurs when the basal ganglia within the brain sends an incorrect message to the vocal chord muscles, instructing them to contract too tightly, in some cases blocking speech altogether. In adductor SD, speech may sound strained, quivery, hoarse, jerky, creaky, staccato, or garbled, and can at times be very difficult to understand.
The less frequently occurring SD is of the abductor type, in which there is an overcontraction of the muscles that separate the vocal chords, resulting in a choppy and breathy whispering voice pattern and is harder to treat than the adductor type.
I have the adductor type of SD and sound, for the most part, like I am very sick. I also lose portions of many words. This causes me a lot of distress and has led to me trying to choose words that are easier for me to say. My voice is also quivery at times which makes it sound as though I am upset and about to cry. That is also referred to as a tremor.
Thanks Coffee Bean! How sweet of you to send me some traffic. I saw you comment on the anti-Christian guy's post. Very well written. I realize it's his blog, but I just think he's making judgments about people in the same way he is accusing us Christians of making unfair judgments. Kind of the pot calling the kettle black, you know? And I have a really hard time believing he lost his faith over a cat. A CAT. I love animals too, but come on. Now stop reading blogs and get back to the basement! :)

Thanks for the humor! I needed it today - I haven't been sleeping well and so am not my normal "perky" self!
Also - I read your hint about how to get spaces in your post (darn Blogger!). It worked! Thanks!
Totally feel you on the cow thing.
I actually feel like a less attractive version of Shrek.
I've often bummed about when those weight loss commercials come on because I only wish I looked as good as the BEFORE pictures! ;)
LOL
Too funny.
I'm with April, get back with that basement or we will have to call Extreme Home Makeover.
Wait...maybe you should make it look worse so that we CAN call EHM!
Blessings!
